Keqing pinned Lu Jingming against the wall, not noticing his gaze. She said with gritted teeth, "The thought of being inexplicably given the title of a Fatui Harbinger, and then the command of a unit, a unit whose equipment, outfits, and even name are exactly like the Fatui in my world, just makes me want to electrocute you! As a Liyue Qixing, I have no good feelings towards the Fatui. Are you serious about making me a Fatui Harbinger?"
"Aqing, calm down. This Fatui is not that Fatui. It's just a name, and right now, Abyssal City really lacks suitable candidates for Harbingers. I just want you to fill the role for a while," Lu Jingming quickly explained, looking at Keqing's chest rising and falling with anger. He didn't dare to admit that his own wicked sense of humor was a factor. After all, it wasn't just Keqing. Ningguang, Ganyu, and Yae Miko hadn't escaped either. They had all inexplicably become Fatui Harbingers. So he absolutely couldn't admit that this was his own prank. Otherwise, the scene he would face would be more terrifying than a Shura Field.
"Fine. Just find someone to take over quickly. I don't want people to mention me as 'Fatui Harbinger' in the future. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. Can't you just use my 'Liyue Qixing' title when you assign me work?" Keqing said helplessly. She knew that Abyssal City was in a period of rapid development and there were too many places that needed people. She herself was busy with multiple roles every day, so she couldn't really blame Lu Jingming for this arrangement.
After all, a Fatui Harbinger wasn't a position you could just hand to anyone. It was a position of real power, and the person holding it could command a strong Fatui unit and use many of Abyssal City's high-level soul tools. Only someone trustworthy with exceptional ability could handle the role. It was because she understood this that, despite her reluctance, she didn't directly refuse and reluctantly accepted the position of Fatui Harbinger.
"I knew Aqing was the best!" Lu Jingming's tone was exceptionally gentle, and a pang of guilt surged in his heart. He admitted that while his prank was a factor in assigning Keqing this role, it was more due to the lack of available people. Although many had joined Abyssal City, the only ones truly trustworthy were Ye Wuqing and his team, but they hadn't grown strong enough yet. So, everything needed time to develop.
Once Ye Guyi and the twin sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo gradually matured, the pressure on Keqing and the others would be greatly relieved. After all, Abyssal City was developing so fast that its need for talent was insatiable, which was why Keqing and the others were so busy all day. If they were to slow down the pace of development, the pressure would be significantly reduced, but neither Lu Jingming nor Abyssal City would ever make that choice. Fortunately, the current situation was still manageable and hadn't reached a breaking point. He believed that things would improve soon.
"Aqing, thank you for your hard work!" Lu Jingming's voice was gentle as never before. He gently raised his hand and caressed Keqing's tender cheek. His eyes were full of pity and love.
Feeling Lu Jingming's gentle actions and his loving, light touch, Keqing's heart fluttered as if struck by something. In this moment, she felt as if all her hard work had received the most wonderful reward. In a moment of impulse, Keqing slowly closed her eyes.
Lu Jingming naturally wouldn't miss this clear signal. He gently pulled the girl into his arms, slowly lowered his head, and captured her soft lips. As their emotions gradually heated up, Lu Jingming's hands began to wander. Unconsciously, they moved to her captivating B+. As he had expected, the feel of her body was not far off from his visual estimation. Keqing's figure was indeed well-endowed. Although perhaps slightly inferior to Changli and Ningguang, Keqing's body was still quite formidable among the many summoned girls.
"Mmm!" Suddenly attacked in a sensitive spot, Keqing's eyes snapped open, full of shame and indignation. However, her tongue was firmly held by Lu Jingming, making it impossible to speak. She could only convey her dissatisfaction through her eyes.
Lu Jingming seemed not to notice Keqing's emotions. Instead, he turned her around, pressed her against the wall, and held her hands high above her head, tightly pinning them to the wall. Keqing was powerless to resist and could only close her eyes in resignation, allowing Lu Jingming to "bully" her like this.
Suddenly, Keqing felt Lu Jingming trying to take off her black stockings. She was shocked and struggled hard, finally breaking free a little. She pushed Lu Jingming away slightly and was finally able to speak. "No... we can't!" Keqing said breathlessly, her voice a mix of panic and determination. The time was wrong, the location was inappropriate, and most importantly, Lu Jingming was not yet an adult. This was an unspoken line that everyone had agreed upon. She absolutely could not break this rule. How would she face the other girls later? Even Zhang Lexuan, his fiancée in name, who had many opportunities, had never crossed this line. So, no matter what, Keqing was firm in refusing this final step.
Lu Jingming felt a little helpless. He admitted he had gotten carried away, but since Keqing was unwilling, he would never force her.
"Then... I won't go in!" Keqing was too tempting, and Lu Jingming couldn't resist the urge in his heart. A clever idea came to him, and he immediately thought of a compromise. As long as they didn't cross the final line, it wouldn't be breaking the rules.
"Not here either!" Keqing was about to refuse directly, but seeing Lu Jingming's look of painful restraint, her heart softened. She finally gave in.
"Deal!" Seeing Keqing agree, Lu Jingming's eyes lit up. He immediately connected to the Omni-Matrix, using its spatial authority to teleport the two of them to Keqing's room.
As the master of the Omni-Matrix, Herta immediately sensed that someone had used its spatial authority. And other than herself, the only person who could use the Omni-Matrix was naturally Lu Jingming. When she found that the spatial coordinates were Keqing's room, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she let out a cold laugh. "Heh, men."
However, she was more concerned with the matter of exploding the black hole than with Lu Jingming's private life. She was also very interested in the supreme energy of this world—Chaos Force. Since Lu Jingming had no objections, she had already contacted the Six Divine Realms. They had reached an agreement, and she could help them explode the black hole and open a channel for them at any time.
As for how to explode the black hole, her plan was to use the Omni-Matrix's authority to overlap the spatial coordinates of a distant star with the black hole, then detonate the star. The immense power generated by the star's explosion would be used to blast open the black hole. Although the power of a single star explosion couldn't completely destroy a black hole, her purpose was only to open a channel, not to destroy it.
While Herta was busy preparing to explode the black hole and Lu Jingming and Keqing were playing their intimate "to enter or not to enter" game, the Demon Emperor, who had destroyed the Deep Sea Demon Whale tribe and had been injured by the Seagod's divine power, ran into big trouble in the vast sea.
Thousands of soul tool battleships, like a group of steel behemoths, surrounded the Demon Emperor. On each battleship, there were soul masters and soul engineers, standing ready.
On the main flagship, a young man with long blue hair held a sea-blue helmet firmly in his hand. Divine power surged from the helmet, like an invisible rope, tightly locking onto the Demon Emperor.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale! No wonder the Seagod's Helmet had such a strong reaction!" Seeing the Demon Emperor's massive body, the current patriarch of the Seagod Family and the contemporary Seagod Douluo, Chen Huijie, instantly looked serious.
As a descendant of the first-generation Seagod, Poseidon, their family had lived on Seagod Island for a long time. It was only after Tang San became the new Seagod that they chose to live in seclusion. Even so, their faith in the Seagod never changed, and Tang San had specially passed down a divine artifact, the Seagod's Helmet, as the legacy of the Seagod Family.
Four thousand years ago, when the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Empire broke out in a fierce war with the Three Empires, the Seagod Family had the idea of re-emerging and suppressing the Sun Moon Empire with their own strength. However, at that time, they received a divine decree from Tang San. In the decree, Tang San clearly told them not to interfere in the conflict between the two continents, as it was beneficial to the Douluo Continent. So, the Seagod Family gave up and did not emerge at that time.
But just a few days ago, the Seagod's Helmet, which had been quietly enshrined, suddenly reacted. Chen Huijie, as the contemporary Seagod Douluo, also sensed a strange aura permeating the sea. Chen Huijie's martial soul was the ocean. As an Ultimate Douluo, pure Seagod blood flowed in his veins. In the sea, his combat power was no less than that of a demigod. With the divine artifact, the Seagod's Helmet, in his hand, Chen Huijie was confident that he had no opponent in this vast sea, except for a true god.
All past patriarchs of the Seagod Family were Ultimate Douluo and controlled the divine artifact, the Seagod's Helmet, from generation to generation. This was also the source of the former Seagod Family patriarch's confidence when he declared that he would emerge to suppress the Sun Moon Empire four thousand years ago. They did indeed have that strength. If not for Tang San's divine decree, the glorious moment in history for Shrek Academy would have likely been stolen by the Seagod Family.
